Boston College

Saturday afternoon at Alumni Stadium, the UConn and Boston College football teams will emerge from the sinkholes their seasons have become for the resumption of a rivalry that, depending on who you talk to and how you view it, means quite a bit or next to nothing.

If one were to pump the brakes on a search for additional meaning to every circumstance, Addazio is probably right. UConn and Boston College have met just once as conference opponents, a 27-7 BC victory in 2004 when both were members of the Big East.
